The problem is that these particular college students are too far left, its that the ones who are being extremely leftist are also trying to silence everyone else and remove the intellectual environments from universities. It's not about which side their on, it's about the end result they're trying to achieve. Leftist college students in the past weren't trying to silence and terminate professors for expressing a viewpoint contrary to theirs, unless there was some kind of legitimate attack with it.

As a matter of fact, in the '60s and '70s they were trying to blow things up, burn things, and kill people.

That's terrorism, and thats dealt with by law enforcement. This is a group trying to manipulate the existing system to their whim, and that's a more insidious problem to deal with.
